"A description of this fall was written by Charles E. Brown after he visited this locality August 27, 1928. “At this pretty spot, now a tourist picnic ground, a clear spring fed spring flows over a low wall of red granite rock which is six or seven feet high. The locality in the forest is very attractive. The stream at the falls is narrowed by the rock outcrop, which extends out from the shore to a width of only 25 feet. The water in tumbling over the rock wall outlines white water in quite a perfect form of a white bear having a length of about 12 feet. This image can be seen at all times of the day but shows best at dusk or in the early morning.”"

Wolf River Dells (or Dalles)
on the Wolf River

location: Keshena

"Here the Wolf River drops over 20 feet in a complicated cascade. There is an island in the middle of the falls. The nearer part of the falls is steeper and more impressive, but there is no easy place to really see it due to rocks and trees. If you wanted to get a really good view of it, you would have to be on the other side of the river, or on the river below the falls...In addition to the falls, the Wolf River Dells are about a mile upstream. Here the river drops over a number of small cascades and through some narrow rocky gorges."
